So when I signed up for the[livejournal.com profile] spoiler_song  holiday fic exchange, I will admit I hesitated for a moment before putting in my request for a fic inspired by the Song of Solomon.  Oh me of little faith:

Thy Love is Better Than Wine by [livejournal.com profile] myconstant : doctor who. eleven/river. adult. 1802 words. no spoilers.

It's a spectacular fic just on its own merits, but don't cheat yourself: read the poem (No really, dammit, read it!  There's a reason it's a classic).  Then read the fic.  Repeat.  Let them resonate with each other.  Feel all the nuances bleeding back and forth between them.  Stare at the wall a bit.  Read again.  Realize you're never going to see either source material in quite the same way again.

Excuse me, I feel like being a bit speechless for awhile longer . . .

You put in a request for fic inspired by the Song of Solomon???? That's the most brilliant thing I've ever heard!

funnily enough, that's pretty much what I did after reading it a couple of hours ago. Definitely one of my favourite fics ever, now.
